LAHORE: A woman’s body was found hanging on a tree in Punjab’s Layyah area on Friday, DawnNews reported.

The woman was kidnapped earlier but was later found murdered with her body hanging on a tree.

Speaking to Dawn.com, rights activist Farzana Bari said, this was a barbaric act.

Bari further said that the increase in such inhuman acts was due to the absence of accountability in Pakistan adding that, people think that they can easily get away with such acts without being punished which gave them the courage to pursue such acts.
